[QUOTE="Herodotus, post: 4872913, member: 111387"]Most expensive? Likely one of my Augustus, Tiberius or Caesar/Elephant denarii. I suppose that they're also treasured, as they're all coins minted under historically important figures. However, my favorite is changing often these days; as I'm still a fairly new collector. While this coin isn't in the best condition of the denarii that I own; nor is it much of a unique type/theme. For some reason, I simply like the way it looks. Finely aged. Sol's spikey head reminds me of 'Pinhead' in the movie series "Hellraiser". [ATTACH=full]1176933[/ATTACH] [B]M. Aburius M.f. Geminus [/B]132 BC AR Denarius Rome mint [B]O:[/B] Helmeted head of Roma right; mark of value below chin [B]R:[/B] Sol driving galloping quadriga right, holding reins and whip [I]Crawford 250/1; Sydenham 487; Aburia 6; RBW 1027[/I][/QUOTE]
